About
Four bedroom detached family home situated on one of Dorchester's most sought after roads in proximity to Dorchester Town Centre and local schools.
Situated on one of Dorchester’s most sought after roads and coming to the market for the first time in over 20 years, this deceptively spacious family home has much to offer.
On approaching the property an open, covered porch area provides useful storage space for outdoor apparel and leads to the property entrance.
On entering the property a spacious central hallway provides access to the principal rooms and beyond.
The open plan kitchen dining room is a light and social space, ideal for entertaining and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
The kitchen area is well appointed with a range of floor and wall mounted units and situated off the kitchen is a most useful utility room with ground floor shower, additional sink, storage as well as external access.
This area is ideal for muddy boots and paws alike.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the open plan, dining and living space, with ample space for a range of free-standing furniture and also features an open fireplace providing a focal point to the room.
From the sitting area is spacious conservatory providing further reception space, particularly enjoyable during the summer months with doors opening to the rear decked terrace and garden beyond.
From the sitting/ dining area is a separate sitting room/ snug, again enjoying a view and access to the rear garden as well as an additional open fire place.
Completing the ground floor is a useful study/ office space, which enjoys an abundance of natural light via central Velux window and an outlook to the front of the property and leafy street scene beyond.
Stairs ascend from the hallway to the first floor which comprises four double bedrooms, the master of which is en-suite and a family bathroom.
The master bedroom is a well-proportioned double room, with en-suite comprising corner shower, WC and pedestal sink unit.
The master bedroom also enjoys an not only over the rear garden but over the rolling countryside beyond.
Bedrooms two and four are both double bedrooms and like the master, both enjoy the same enviable outlook and have ample space for freestanding furniture and storage.
Bedroom three which was created when extending the property also provides space for a double bed, freestanding storage and work area.
Although not benefitting from the south facing views of the other bedrooms, bedroom three still has a pleasant outlook over the front of the property and leafy street scene of Manor Road.
Completing the first floor is a stylish family bathroom, comprising bath, with shower over and glass splash screen, pedestal sink unit and WC and all finished contrast grey and white tiling.
Externally this property has much to offer with an established and mature garden to the rear and ample off street parking as well as an additional potting area to the front.
The gardens which have been nurtured and cultivated by the current vendors hosts an abundance of flowers, fruit beds, trees and herbaceous perennials, interspersed with areas of lawn, polytunnel and seating areas.
The property is situated in one of Dorchester’ most sought after roads, a tree lined avenue just a short walk from the town centre.
The county town provides a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities including a leisure centre, library, restaurants, cafe/bars and cinemas including the new Brewery Square development with its variety of shops and restaurants centred around a fountain square.
The house falls within the catchment area of a number of highly regarded schools. There are numerous sports clubs around the town including cricket, rugby, football, tennis and golf.
